Enjoy live Soul & Motown music, drinks and relaxed mingling for singles in their 40s, 50s & 60s.

Forget awkward speed dating and forced chemistry. Join us at The Orange Tree in Hitchin for a brilliant Friday night of live Soul & Motown music, drinks & easy conversation with a private space reserved exclusively for our singles community.

Think Soul & Motown classics, a drink in your hand, a room full of friendly faces and plenty of reasons to get chatting.

What to Expect

On arrival, you’ll be welcomed by Eleni and given a simple icebreaker to help you get chatting. No cringe games. No forced introductions. Just easy conversation starters designed to take the pressure off meeting someone new.

We’ll also have a little “One fun fact about you” round later in the evening, so have yours ready!

The chairs will be removed from our private area, creating a large, open space designed for mingling, moving around and naturally meeting different people throughout the evening. Grab a drink, find someone to chat to, move around, join another conversation and enjoy the music together.

The Live Music

We’re delighted to welcome Uche Eke (https://www.facebook.com/ucheekesinger), an acclaimed international solo Soul, Motown and swing singer known for his powerful voice and energetic live performances.

The live music starts at 8:30pm, giving you plenty of time to arrive, settle in, grab a drink and meet the other guests before the music begins.

Who Is It For?

This event is designed for singles in their 40s, 50s and 60s who enjoy good music, a sociable atmosphere and meeting people in real life.

We’re working to create a balanced mix of men and women and encourage guests to book early rather than leaving it until the last minute.

Event Details

Friday 20th November, 7:30pm – 11pm

Doors open at 7:30pm. We recommend arriving on time so you can enjoy the icebreaker and meet people before the live music starts at 8:30pm.
